Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) (A) and (B)
Explanation:
· Statement (A) is correct: According to the Members of Parliament Act, 1954, as amended from time to time, members of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha are entitled to receive the same salary and allowances. This is done to ensure equality between the two houses of Parliament.
· Statement (B) is correct: Members representing states in the Rajya Sabha are indeed elected by the elected members of the respective State Legislative Assemblies using the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (STV).
